Explore Thermopolis

Hot Springs & Wellness
Home to the world’s largest mineral hot spring, Hot Springs State Park spills over colorful terraces at a steady 128°F, while its bathhouse offers free soaks year-round. For a more resort-style experience, try the TePee Pool or Star Plunge pending its re-opening, and don’t miss the exciting and scenic “Swinging Bridge” over the Big Horn River.
Fishing, Rafting & Scenic Drives
Cast for blue‑ribbon trout on the Big Horn and Wind Rivers with guided float trips, trophy-worthy fishing, and wild canyon scenery just minutes from town. Scenic drives through Wind River Canyon offer stunning overlooks, rafting chances, and white water rapid thrills.
Trails, Camping & Wildlife
Explore over six miles of hiking paths winding past hot springs terraces, along rivers, and up into foothills. Nearby campgrounds, public and private, offer creekside, forested, and RV options for anglers, families, and nature lovers alike . Keep an eye out for bison, herds of which graze peacefully in the park and which you can see safely from your vehicle on a short and scenic drive.
Paleontology & History
Visit the renowned Wyoming Dinosaur Center for fossil exhibits and onsite dig pits where you can join real dinosaur excavations. Stroll downtown through the Historic District (buildings from 1898–1923), pop into the Hot Springs County Museum, and gaze upon ancient rock art at the nearby Legend Rock site.
Local Flavor & Community
Thermopolis may only house about 2,700 residents, but its vibrant downtown boasts unique shops, cozy cafés, local restaurants, craft breweries, and friendly Western hospitality. With its rich heritage and warm community vibe, “T‑Town” truly feels like home.
